U.S. consumers increased their debt in May by a seasonally adjusted
$17.1 billion, the largest increase since last December, the Federal
Reserve reported Monday. This is the ninth-straight monthly gain in
consumer borrowing. The increase in May was just more than double of the
roughly $8 billion gain expected by Wall Street economists. All types
of credit increased in May. Credit-card debt rose by $8.0 billion in the
month after a $3.5 billion decrease in April. Non-revolving debt such
as auto loans, personal loans and student loans experienced a $9.1
billion jump in May after a $13.4 billion gain in the prior month.
Note the mention of student loans
